Shallower and wider, for sure... more surface area exposed to light for the macro to occupy... the mantra here is (as mentioned above) "more volume, more volume!!!"...

I have a 20g tall that I modified into a refugium back when I began this hobby a number of years ago... it faithfully serves my 92g corner reef display quite nicely. This design was my first, but I have since modified it a great deal to more closely resemble the Ecosystem designs. The nitrate...
